It's very rare for a TV show to come along and pull me into its world as well as Altered Carbon did. Previously I can only name House, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Preacher and American Gods to do the same. But things have come a long way since House and Dexter was a thing, especially as far as the production quality of TV shows goes.

All over the internet I got lots of mixed feedback for the show before I actually started watching it, with many stating that it got boring after N episodes and never quite picked up again. I did not experience that, at all. After the first two episodes I was hooked.

If you're into very violent scenes that actually show blood and wounds, you're in for a treat. I mean, at one point the guy got his legs burned off. Fucking torched. Can you imagine that? The entire thing was executed damn near perfectly as far as my opinion goes.

You can see a lot of female parts there and I don't mean just breasts. Also, unlike lots of TV shows that are kind-of sexist when it comes to that, you can see a male parts as well. While I'm not a fan of male parts myself, I did like that they tried to level that.

Overall the show was very well done with film-grade fight scenes and visuals and had a very Blade Runner-y vibe, which added so much to it. Sort of an emotionless future with dull background and vivid neon lights. I'd also say the soundtrack fit the show very well. Definitely a show I recommend watching.

I've seen this film before, but was super bored and figured I give this another go. Mostly due to my endless love for Scarlett Johansson. And, of course, her lips, corners of the mouth that sometimes tremble and the confident yet lost look in her eyes that she often has, all of which I find incredibly sexy.

Anyway, let's get back to the film, shall we? While I expected more from the action scenes, it was alright considering that she had, kind of, infinite powers against regular people with guns so no matter how much kung fu one of those guys could have known, none of it would have helped.

I feel like the story, while entertaining, gets bizarrely boring close to the end. I very much like the concept of carrying a bag of drugs in your stomach that breaks, giving you superpowers (or rather, power to use the entirety of your brain), but what the story thinks that humans are able to do when we use our entire brain gets very absurd, very fast.

I very much like when films such as this borrow things from science that could actually be achieved. As far as I know, if a person is able to use 100% of its brain capacity, the person will have a rather bad time because of the Grand Mal / Tonic-Clonic Seizure.

Overall I think this was an entertaining film with a semi-decent dialogue and an alright plot. There was this one bit in the film where the main character (Scott Adkins) was fighting a female assassin (Amy Johnston) and so very clearly pulling his punches when comparing to the rest of the fights in the film.

It looks especially rigged if you’ve seen any of the Yuri Boyka action Scott has done in the Undisputed film series which clearly demonstrates his ability to fight, but that can be dismissed because it’s a different film and not every character Scott plays has to have the exact same abilities.
